1838482 - Reloading hundreds of tabs on Linux desktop produces an empty crash report

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Paul Adenot (:padenot)]

STR:

• Have hundreds of tabs (I had about 900), but most of them unloaded
• Select about 150-200 of them using shift+click
• Right click, reload (in an attempt to inspect them and close most of them)

Expected:

• It's long but it loads

Actual:

• It crashes and the report looks like this: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/report/index/ae20c0b0-1202-4a16-bc38-0f4310230614

It might be an OOM, but I have 64GB of ram and 90% was free. This machine also has 64GB of swap.

Inspecting the little information available in the crash report this does indeed look like resource-exhaustion of some kind, probably file-descriptors. Unfortunately this is a crash in the main process for which we don't have diagnostics yet so I can't be 100% sure. Bug 1620998 might be able to help here.
